Well, in other EU - Countries there are the same rules. Maybe the authorities of some countries are not so interested in these rules. ;)

'Hmm. We could open up all sorts of 'politically incorrect' discussions here, which is probably not a good idea ! However, this is my take on EU laws from what I can see from over here :

Germany - Laws are created for a reason and should be adhered to !
Brits ( of which I am one !) - Don't like any EU laws!
Fr....... - Know the laws and decide which ones suit and ignore which ones don't !
Gr ....... - What's an EU Law ?
